I like to pretend I can sew ;)
Turn an old long sleeve shirt into a Gathered Sleeve & Bow Tee!
Here's what you need:
Long sleeve shirt
Scissors
Sewing machine, thread & needle.
1- decide where you want to cut your sleeves & cut away. keep your sleeves! you will use them later :) {mine was really easy to cut because it has stripes, so i just cut across the stripe.}
{i didn't bother hemming the sleeves because my tee is knit. but go ahead & hem yours if you'd like!}
2- starting at the shoulder just underneath the hem, do a front & back stitch. using a straight stitch.
{you can stop here, but we can make it cuter!}
7- turn inside out so right sides are facing each other. you only have to sew 2 sides. on one side leave an opening so you can turn your fabric right side out.
and you're DONE! not too hard right?
I hope you liked the tutorial. Let me know if you have any questions.
Would love to see your Gathered Sleeve & Bow Tees if you decide to make one.

ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to see the gathered sleeves ON you. They're cut off the photos where you're in the shirt.
